Spacing

There's a function called fetch_musername() in includes/functions that gets the "marked up" user name, so if you changed that it would probably handle most places, but I know there are some places where it's just the bare user name.

In retrospect, the single-space thing is probably a good thing because having people with the same user name other than spacing could get confusing (but I'm sure you have your reasons for wanting to allow it).

My reasons are that I read the username of vBull with my java server, and people can have usernames with 2 spaces on the game, unfortunately they cannot on the forum, and that causes a conflict.

I see - I figured you had a good reason.

So I notice that there's a hook at the end of fetch_musername so you don't have to edit that file if you don't want to, you could probably just use hook location fetch_musername with something like

$username = str_replace(' ', ' ', $username);
$user['musername'] = $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$displaygroupid"]['opentag'] . $username . $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$displaygroupid"]['closetag'];

Does anyone know exactly how to do it yet?
